The Los Angeles County Arts Commission is now accepting applications for the Arts for All Arts Education Professional Development Directory on LAArtsEd.org.  LAArtsEd.org is Arts for All’s online resource to support school districts and their community partners in building classroom partnerships, to access best practices in arts education and to increase the capacity of districts and teachers to deliver quality arts instruction.

The searchable, online Professional Development Directory will provide centralized access to quality, local and national, peer reviewed arts education professional development that serves the needs of Los Angeles’ diverse community of educators, inclusive of generalist teachers, arts specialists, teaching artists and school and arts administrators.  Assistant superintendents will be able to find individuals and organizations that serve their professional development goals for increasing student achievement and improving instructional quality.  Classroom teachers will be able to find professional learning communities to join.  Teaching artists will be able to find mentor programs that will deepen their capacity to serve the needs of students. 

To improve quality and equitable student access to arts learning, Arts for All invites professional development providers that have high quality programming and the capacity to serve educators in Los Angeles County to apply for listing in the Professional Development Directory. To be listed on the site, individuals and organizations must submit an electronic application form, all required supplemental materials, and be approved by a peer panel comprised of arts organizations, artists, educators and parents.
